Don't know about the sofware that runs the HWG list, but 
most such software lets you set it to NOMAIL - you're 
still subscribed, but it doesn't send you any mail, 
therefore won't trigger any autoreplies.

BTW, setting an autoreply in Outlook means you have 
have OL running 24/7 while you're gone ... Maybe not 
something you would want to do! ;-)
